Small Actions for Big Results: Book Insight on The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson

* When his solar energy business crashed and burned, Jeff Olson had an epiphany.  *When people have their backs to the wall, he saw, they will do anything to lift themselves up again, with often awe-inspiring effort.  * But when they do pull themselves up again, something happens: they relax a bit and start drifting again toward failure.  * When they get low, once again they pull themselves up.  * The cycle of failure/survival/success can continue across a person’s lifetime, causing endless confusion and heartache.  * Olson describes how to break that cycle, identifying the simple things – the small daily decisions and habits that add up to your ‘slight edge’, the very opposite of the fabled ‘big break’ – which over time can give you a massive advantage and take you to new heights in work and life.
